I agree, depends on the person and situation. I've been having ongoing trust issues with my husband for the last couple years. I have sincerely tried to get past it, forgive, and move on. Unfortunately he keeps choosing to do things to break the trust I manage to gain for him so I've just said to hell with him. I hope you're not in a situation where it's bound to be repeated because from my experience, it's just such a waste of time. If you think it's worth it, try your best to regain. Therapy or something?

It's much harder to earn trust back after it's broken. The person who has broken the trust has to understand this, and realize they caused it, and depending on how serious the problem is be willing to be patient, and take what is dished out based on the level of pain they have caused the other party. Some things can take years to get over. Some things are never gotten over.

Yes it is, howevr, it will take time, understanding and work. Depending on the situation, a change may need to occur. Like a PP said, the person who caused the breach in trust has to #1 be willing to make changes needed, and #2 be understanding. They need to realize that it will take time to rebuild that trust. The person who was betrayed also has to realize that these feelings are normal. Allow themselves to grieve, to feel the total range of emotions, and do not try and rush the process or try and just shove it aside. I wish you nothing but the best, and feel free to PM if you need to.

If someone has lost your trust. They must earn it back. They must prove they are worthy of it once again. If they will not earn it back, or work to earn it back. Then they are not worthy of your trust.
